The housebuilder and the housing association have formed a joint venture to address the shortage of homes in the North of England, starting with building the first phase of a project to deliver 650 units in Pendleton.

Peel L&P’s housebuilding arm, Northstone, wants to bring forward 150 homes at the site of Horwich Golf Club, in a scheme 50% smaller than its first application. 

The town’s leadership has unveiled a masterplan to create more than 10m sq ft of employment space and 12,000 homes over the next decade.

Outline plans for up to 268 houses at the former Pemberton Colliery site have been approved by Wigan Council, with agreement that 13% of the site will be allocated as affordable housing.
